Talon is a tool to generate on-demand data insights from public Telegram chats. Powered by Rust, grammers, and egui, it offers a straightforward interface that leverages the Telegram account API.
- User and Message Metrics: Displays the number of unique users, total messages counted, and other info.
- Detailed User Insights: View comprehensive user details including name, username, ID, total messages, total words, total characters, and more.
- Interactive Data Table: Select cells, interact with the table and allows copying cells in an organized manner.
- Visual Analytics: Visualize message counts and active users on an hourly, daily, weekly, monthly and by the day of the week basis.
- Date Range and Navigation: Easily navigate and view table and chart data within a specific date range with buttons to cycle by day, week, month, or year.
- Session Management: Options to choose between temporary sessions (logs out on app close) or non-temporary sessions (creates a file for persistent login).
- User Grouping: Group specific users by whitelisting to view their data separately and analyze their activity.
- Blacklisting: Exclude specific users from data analysis to prevent their data from appearing in the results.
- Multi-Session Capability: Utilize multiple sessions to dramatically increase checking speed, tested with up to 12 sessions and 300k messages.
- Multi-Chat Capability: Analyze multiple chats simultaneously and view data from each chat separately.
Talon uses the grammers library for Telegram operations. Please be aware that grammers is currently under development and may not be stable or audited for security.
